The good news is that, depending on what you\u2019re trying to do, you can start today, often with minimal adjustments to the space you\u2019re in or have available, and&nbsp;<em>for free!<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s dive into the basics of setting up a podcast studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Best Audio Setup for Your Podcast<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For many purposes, almost any quiet space can become a podcast recording room. But there\u2019s quiet, and there\u2019s&nbsp;<em>quiet<\/em>. Listen for white noise that you don\u2019t usually notice but could be audible on a recording.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best ways to test your podcast sound quality is to record 1 or 2 minutes. Yep, just the room sound! You\u2019ll be surprised by how much information about your podcast recording room you\u2019ll gather just doing that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The hum of a refrigerator, the whistle of steam heat, and rumbling traffic outside can all interfere with podcast sound quality.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pre-Podcast Recording Tips<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Consider a room without windows, like a walk-in closet or other interior space with lots of fluffy furniture and low ceilings \u2014 that would have the added benefit of sound-absorbing materials and diffusion naturally present in those spaces.<\/li><li>Carpets or plenty of rugs in a room make for a much better sound than hardwood floors!<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Most Level 1 or 2 podcasters might not have access to optimal recording spaces, but nearly every home has bedrooms and closets. Generally speaking, those rooms would be your best bet for a homemade podcast studio. At times living rooms can do the job, particularly if there is lots of furniture and big, soft, cushy sofas, cushions, and drapes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/libsyn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Libsyn-2020-Blog-SetUpStudio-Sofa-512x512-1.png\" alt=\"Illustration of a cushioned couch and area rug -- great location for a podcast studio\" class=\"wp-image-6284\" srcset=\"https:\/\/libsyn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Libsyn-2020-Blog-SetUpStudio-Sofa-512x512-1.png 512w, https:\/\/libsyn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Libsyn-2020-Blog-SetUpStudio-Sofa-512x512-1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/libsyn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Libsyn-2020-Blog-SetUpStudio-Sofa-512x512-1-80x80.png 80w, https:\/\/libsyn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Libsyn-2020-Blog-SetUpStudio-Sofa-512x512-1-120x120.png 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Home offices are also good choices for home podcast studios if they have a substantial amount of furniture, carpet, rugs, and curtains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Home offices have the bonus of being used daily, making the podcast room setup and design worthwhile. You can consider adding some basic podcast soundproofing and diffusion elements to the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kitchens and bathrooms tend to have the most echo, as there is no carpet and the furniture and surroundings are hard. Avoid recording in them if possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Acoustic Treatment Tips, Level 1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These tips use items you probably have available or can borrow:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Surround yourself with pillows<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Put a blanket over your head<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Get in a closet amongst all the clothes<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Record on a bed or a sofa surrounded by cushions<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Acoustic Treatment Tips, Level 2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I will suggest things that you can buy and use, so you can learn how to make your podcast sound better. Before you invest in any basic podcast equipment, as mentioned before,&nbsp;<strong>first try recording something<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Test your podcast audio quality using the Level 1 podcast recording tips first. Test\u00a0<em>not using anything.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>And listen.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Listen to the sound quality of the room, but also listen to the recording.You might find that the podcast recording space that you\u2019re in sounds pretty good. You might find that facing one way or moving to a different part of the space is all you have to change to create good podcast sound quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or, you might find that the podcast sound quality is echoey, or there\u2019s too much reverb that you can hear absolutely everything that\u2019s going on outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have some test recordings, you can make an informed decision <a href=\"https:\/\/libsyn.com\/blog\/2020\/12\/15\/podcast-recording\/\">about recording your podcast<\/a> as to&nbsp;what you need to do&nbsp;next, whether it\u2019s finding another place to record or investing in some sound absorption and diffusion solutions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"512\" data-src=\"https:\/\/libsyn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Libsyn-2020-Blog-SetUpStudio-Where-512x512-1.png\" alt=\"Illustration of a mic, laptop, and headphones on a table with a plant at a podcast studio\" class=\"wp-image-6272 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/libsyn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Libsyn-2020-Blog-SetUpStudio-Where-512x512-1.png 512w, https:\/\/libsyn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Libsyn-2020-Blog-SetUpStudio-Where-512x512-1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/libsyn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Libsyn-2020-Blog-SetUpStudio-Where-512x512-1-80x80.png 80w, https:\/\/libsyn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Libsyn-2020-Blog-SetUpStudio-Where-512x512-1-120x120.png 120w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 512px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 512\/512;\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Sound solutions are dependent on your needs for <em>your own space<\/em>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These solutions are akin to you moving into a new house with a small closet or a huge garage. Whether you should invest in organizing a closet or garage is based on what will be stored there, what exists in the space now, and how you\u2019ll be using the space. You don\u2019t need to buy shelving units if your garage already has built-in shelves. You don\u2019t need to buy a giant closet system with lots of organization if your closet will only hold evening gowns, and you only need a sturdy bar to hang them all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, I want to clarify the difference between sound absorption and sound blocking.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no way to block the sound of everyday life in any of our living spaces. If you record in a regular life place, life will get into your recording. We will address this in upcoming blog posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only way to fully block sound, meaning to soundproof a space, is to go Level 3. Most of us don\u2019t need that. We need only do our best to create the best acoustic treatment for podcasting, to the best of our ability, given our circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>80% of the time, choosing the suitable space and locating properly within that space will serve you well. The gift of podcasting is that it\u2019s a&nbsp;<em>verb<\/em>, so you get to continue to adjust and re-adjust your podcast recording space as your podcast.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the other 20% when you need to know how to improve podcast audio quality and make your podcast sound better, here is a shortlist of soundproofing equipment to help you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?k=acoustic+panels&amp;ref=nb_sb_noss_1\"><strong>Acoustic panels:<\/strong><\/a><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>You can find all kinds of YouTube tutorials on how to make <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=NvWUEXtT2js\">acoustic panels<\/a>, or you can buy <a href=\"https:\/\/kireiusa.com\/blog\/decorative-acoustic-panels\">fancy ones, cute ones, and everything in between<\/a>.<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/slp\/microphone-shield\/6hhcqs49becg4b4\"><strong>Studio Microphone Shields<\/strong><\/a><strong>:<\/strong>&nbsp;Fairly inexpensive, compact, and can be used in a variety of ways.<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kaoticaeyeball.com\/\"><strong>Kaotica Eyeball<\/strong><\/a><strong>:<\/strong>&nbsp;A super fun product that can be the right tool for the job.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If I were to leave you with ONE thing about setting up a podcast studio, whether it is for recording yourself or multiple people, it\u2019s this:&nbsp;<strong>test, test, test! Test your podcast sound quality and your podcast recording space<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no magic piece of audio hardware or acoustic treatment for podcasting that will solve everything. You are the x-factor in finding the solutions to record the best podcast that you can. Record, adjust, try again, listen, re-adjust, change positions, add something else, take something away and do it again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will have clarity in what your problems are and also what really works in your space. Then, you can then invest in the right podcast recording tools that will give you the most bang for your buck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check back with why you create a podcast in the first place. Refer back to our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/libsyn.com\/blog\/2020\/01\/21\/plan-your-podcast\/\">Plan Your Podcast<\/a>&nbsp;article to refresh yourself.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Multi-Person Podcast Recording Space<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Everything in the last section also applies to a two-person podcast setup, but most of us aren\u2019t going to record with someone else under a blanket or in a closet\u2026unless we really want to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In lieu of that, choosing a good podcast location is even more important for getting the best sound for a group: a room with lots of fluffy, cushy furniture, or at a minimum a thick carpet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most podcasters do just fine recording in living rooms, hotel rooms, conference rooms, and even inside of cars. (The inside of a car can have pretty awesome acoustics.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At that point, it\u2019s less about your location and&nbsp;more about your audio technique, which we will get to in an upcoming post!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing to note, recording more than one voice inherently changes the game. A space that works well for one voice may not work for&nbsp;<em>more than one<\/em>&nbsp;voice, so during your testing phase, make sure that you recreate what you will be doing during your episodes as best as you can!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"512\" data-src=\"https:\/\/libsyn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Libsyn-2020-Blog-SetUpStudio-Mics-512x512-1.png\" alt=\"Illustration of a table with multiple microphones at podcast studio\" class=\"wp-image-6314 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/libsyn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Libsyn-2020-Blog-SetUpStudio-Mics-512x512-1.png 512w, https:\/\/libsyn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Libsyn-2020-Blog-SetUpStudio-Mics-512x512-1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/libsyn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Libsyn-2020-Blog-SetUpStudio-Mics-512x512-1-80x80.png 80w, https:\/\/libsyn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Libsyn-2020-Blog-SetUpStudio-Mics-512x512-1-120x120.png 120w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 512px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 512\/512;\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Professional Podcast Studio Setup&nbsp; (Level 3)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s sound-proof recording studio time, lucky you!! That\u2019s a real&nbsp;<strong>Level 3 <\/strong><strong>professional podcast<\/strong>&nbsp;studio setup.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For most of us everyday humans, a soundproof podcast studio would usually not be in the home. However, some Level 3 podcasters (like Dan Sullivan from&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/strategicpodcasts.com\/\">Strategic Podcasts<\/a>) have invested quite a bit in setting up an amazing home podcast studio. On the same level, a business investing heavily in podcasting may choose to have a professional podcast studio setup in their office building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A professional podcast studio setup merits hiring a sound and design expert who can advise you based on your needs. This is not a one size fits all solution. When you\u2019re investing thousands of dollars, you need someone who is well versed in not only audio engineering and acoustics, but podcasting. Another option is podcast studio rental. In fact, for most Level 3 podcasters, this is the way to go. A lot of cities now have podcast recording studios that you can use and call&nbsp;<em>home<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Next Up: Choose Your Podcast Equipment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the next post in this \u201cStarting a Podcast\u201d series, we\u2019ll talk about&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/libsyn.com\/blog\/2020\/02\/24\/equipment-for-recording-a-podcast\/\">the essential podcast equipment you need to record<\/a>&nbsp;and edit your podcast.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/libsyn.us4.list-manage.com\/subscribe?u=2c9cdc822bf58bd1f3e535866&amp;id=6f2e1e3b36\">Sign up to get an email when the next post is published<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have feedback on this post?
